This appliance must be grounded. This oven is equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with a grounding plug.

It must be plugged into a wall receptacle that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with the National

Electrical Code and local codes and ordinances. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the

risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current.

WARNING

Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a

risk of electric shock.

Electrical Requirements

The electrical requirements are a 120 volt 60 Hz, AC only, 15 amp. or

more protected electrical supply. It is recommended that a separate

circuit serving only this oven be provided.

The oven is equipped with a 3-prong grounding plug. It must be plugged

into a wall receptacle that is properly installed and grounded. Should

you only have a 2-prong outlet, have a qualified electrician install a

correct wall receptacle.

A 3-prong adapter may be purchased and used temporarily if local

codes allow. Follow package directions.

A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce risk of becoming

entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.

Extension Cord

If it is necessary to use an extension cord, use only a 3-wire extension

cord that has a 3-blade grounding plug and a 3-slot receptacle that will

accept the plug on the SuperSteam Oven. The marked rating of the

extension cord should be AC 115-120 volt, 15 amp. or more.

Be careful not to drape the cord over the countertop or table where it can

be pulled on by children or tripped over accidentally.

NOTES:

1. If you have any questions about the grounding or electrical

instructions, consult a qualified electrician or service person.

2. Neither Sharp nor the dealer can accept any liability for damage to

the oven or personal injury resulting from failure to observe the

correct electrical connection procedures.

Radio or TV Interference

INFORMATION YOU NEED TO KNOW

ABOUT YOUR OVEN

This Operation Manual is valuable: read it carefully and

always save it for reference.

The Sharp SuperSteam Oven Cookbook is a

valuable asset. Check it frequently for cooking

principles, techniques, hints and recipes.

Be aware that, unlike microwave-only ovens, Super

Steam Ovens have a tendency to become hot during

cooking with SuperSteam Convection, Convection

or Steam.

The oven is for food preparation only. It should not be

used to dry clothes or newspapers.

ABOUT COOKING OPTIONS

Your oven has a variety of cooking options that are divided into automatic and manual. SuperSteam Convection,

Steam and Microwave have both automatic and manual choices. Convection has only manual.

SuperSteam Convection

SuperSteam is combined with convection heating, which can roast or broil foods and allow excess fats to be

removed. These foods retain moisture. Meats and poultry are brown, juicy and flavorful.

Steam

Steam only gently cooks foods such as vegetables, fish, seafood and poached eggs while retaining moisture,

natural flavors and nutrients.

Convection

Convection browns, bakes, broils and crisps a wide variety of foods. Cookies, cakes, breads, muffins, biscuits and

rolls can be baked on one or two levels. There are no automatic settings for convection. Refer to your SuperSteam

Cookbook or to Convection in Manual Operations.

Microwave

Microwave is fast and convenient for cooking, defrosting and popping popcorn. With Sensor Reheat, Sensor Cook

and Sensor Popcorn, it is unnecessary to enter amount. The sensor eliminates guesswork.

DISH CHECK. If you wish to check if a dish is safe for microwaving, place the empty dish in the oven and microwave

on 100% power for 30 seconds. If the dish becomes very hot, do NOT use it for microwaving.

ACCESSORIES There are many microwave or heat-resistant accessories available for purchase. Evaluate

carefully before you purchase so that they meet your needs. A microwave-safe thermometer will assist you in

determining correct doneness and assure you that foods have been cooked to safe temperatures when using

microwave-only cooking. Sharp is not responsible for any damage to the oven when accessories are used.

For automatic cooking, use the recommended container in the cooking chart in this operation manual or the

cookbook.

INFORMATION YOU NEED TO KNOW

ABOUT SUPER STEAM CONVECTION AND STEAM COOKING

There are certain techniques for cooking with steam. It is essential that these techniques are followed for good

results. Many of them are similar to those used in conventional cooking so may require little change. Note information

in all of the charts in the cookbook for all cooking options that use SuperSteam Convection (Roast, Convenience

Foods, Broil) and Steam (Cook, Reheat, Keep Warm and Proof).

•Always attend the oven when in use.

•Use utensils/cookware suitable for the cooking mode as described on page 6.

•Ventilate the room to allow the steam to dissipate.

•Refer to the charts in the SuperSteam Oven Cookbook for recommended cooking settings and times.

•After cooking and the oven has cooled, remove and empty the reservoir, wipe oven cavity with a soft

cloth or sponge, remove and empty the drip tray.

Place food in steam basket on high rack in baking tray so steam reaches all sides

and cooking is even. For faster cooking, use upper level in oven. Foods crowded

together will take longer to cook, so position with enough space between items to

allow the steam to circulate.

Covering is not necessary in most cases. If a cover is required, aluminum foil is

recommended to keep food from becoming wet.

For accurate cooking times, keep the door closed.

Sometimes soups or casseroles reheated without covering look watery after cooking.

Appearance will be better if stirred well.

Standing time is recommended after cooking to allow heat to disperse equally through-

out the food. Do not allow to stand in the oven for a long time; food may be over-

cooked or wet from the residual steam.

Cooking Hints

FOR STEAM COOKING

SEC AX1200 O/M,P01- 08.9.24, 0:06 PM7

INFORMATION YOU NEED TO KNOW

•Check that food is thoroughly cooked/reheated before serving.

•Cooking time will be affected by the shape, depth, quantity and temperature of food together with the size, shape

and material of the container.

•Never heat oil or fat for deep frying as this may lead to overheating and fire.

Density

Quantity

Size

Shape

Temperature of Food

Seasoning and

Flavoring

Food Characteristics

Food density will affect the amount of cooking time. Cut the food into thinner parts, if

possible, and arrange in single layer.

The cooking time must be increased as the amount increases.

Small foods and small pieces cook faster than large ones, as heat can penetrate from all

sides to the center. For even cooking make all the pieces the same size.

Foods which are irregular in shape, such as chicken breasts or drumsticks, may take

longer to cook in the thicker parts. Check that these parts are cooked thoroughly before

serving.

The initial temperature of food affects the cooking time. Chilled foods will take longer to

cook than foods at room temperature. The temperature of the container is not the actual

temperature of the food or drink.

Seasoning or flavoring are best added after cooking. If added as marinades or rubs, the

taste may become less pronounced when cooking with steam. Add seasoning or flavor-

ing again after cooking, if necessary.

CAUTION:

Always use dry pot holders or oven mitts to remove food or utensils from the oven. Be careful when

opening the oven door to allow steam to dissipate.

FOR SUPER STEAM CONVECTION AND STEAM COOKING

*ALWAYS have food in the oven when it is on to

absorb the microwave energy.

*Your oven is rated 700 watts using the IEC Test

Procedure. In using recipes or package directions,

check food at the minimum time and add time

accordingly.

*Condensation is a normal part of microwave cooking.

Room humidity and the moisture in food will influence

the amount of moisture that condenses in the oven.

Generally, covered foods will not cause as much

condensation as uncovered ones. Vents on the

oven back must not be blocked.

*Arrange food carefully. Place thickest areas toward

outside of dish.

*Watch cooking time. Cook for the shortest amount

of time indicated and add more as needed. Foods

severely overcooked can smoke or ignite.

*Cover foods while cooking. Check recipe or

cookbook for suggestions: paper towels, wax paper,

microwave plastic wrap or a lid. Covers prevent

spattering and help foods to cook evenly.

*Shield with small flat pieces of aluminum foil any

thin areas of meat or poultry to prevent overcooking

before dense, thick areas are cooked thoroughly.

ABOUT MICROWAVE COOKING

*Stir foods from outside to center of dish once or

twice during cooking, if possible.

*Turn foods over once during microwaving to speed

cooking of such foods as chicken and hamburgers.

Large items like roasts or turkey breasts must be

turned over at least once.

*Rearrange foods like meatballs halfway through

cooking both from top to bottom and from the center

of the dish to the outside.

*Add standing time. Remove food from oven and

stir, if possible. Cover for standing time which

allows the food to finish cooking without overcooking.

*Check for doneness. Look for signs indicating that

cooking temperatures have been reached.

Doneness signs include:

–Food steams throughout, not just at edge.

–Center bottom of dish is very hot to the

touch.

–Poultry thigh joints move easily.

–Meat and poultry show no pinkness.

–Fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.

INFORMATION YOU NEED TO KNOW

ABOUT CHILDREN

Children below the age of 7 should use the oven with a

supervising person very near to them. Between the ages

of 7 and 12, the supervising person should be in the

same room.

The child must be able to reach the oven comfortably;

if not, he/she should stand on a sturdy stool.

At no time should anyone be allowed to lean or swing

on the oven door.

Children should be taught all safety precautions.

Don’t assume that because a child has mastered one

cooking skill he/she can cook everything.

Children need to learn that the oven is not a toy. Young

children should be supervised to ensure that they do

not play with the oven.

DON’T

*Cook eggs in shells.

*Reheat whole eggs.

*Dry nuts or seeds in shells.

*Pop popcorn in regular brown

bags or glass bowls.

*Exceed maximum time on

popcorn package.

or air tight containers.

*Can in the microwave as harmful

bacteria may not be destroyed.

*Deep fat fry.

*Dry wood, gourds, herbs or wet

papers.

*Puncture egg yolks before cooking to

prevent “explosion”.

*Pierce skins of potatoes, apples, squash,

hot dogs and sausages so that steam

escapes.

*Use specially bagged popcorn for the

microwave oven.

*Listen while popping corn for the popping

to slow to 1 or 2 seconds or use

SENSOR POPCORN for "no-guess"

popping.

*Transfer baby food to small dish and heat

carefully, stirring often. Check temperature

before serving.

*Put nipples on bottles after heating and

shake thoroughly. “Wrist” test before

feeding.

*Cut baked goods with filling after heating

to release steam and avoid burns.

*Stir liquid briskly before and after heating

to avoid “eruption”.

*Use deep bowl when cooking liquid or

cereal to prevent boilovers.

INFORMATION YOU NEED TO KNOW

To test for doneness, insert a meat thermometer in a

thick or dense area away from fat or bone. NEVER

leave the thermometer in the food during cooking,

unless it is approved for microwave oven use.

•Accessible parts (e.g. oven door, oven cavity, dishes

and accessories) may become hot during use. Use

dry pot holders or oven mitts when removing

container, food and oven accessories from the oven

and be careful not to touch the oven cavity to prevent

burns.

•Use care when opening door. Avoid steam burns by

directing steam away from the face and hands.

Always stand back from the oven when opening it.

•Stay near the oven while it's in use and check

cooking progress frequently so that there is no

chance of overcooking food.

•NEVER use the cavity for storing cookbooks or

other items.

•Select, store and handle food carefully to preserve

its high quality and minimize the spread of foodborne

bacteria.

•Use care when removing items from the oven so

that the utensil, your clothes or accessories do not

touch the door projection.

•Do not touch around the oven light. This part will

become hot when the oven light is on.

•To avoid burns, always be careful of splashing

grease from the baking tray when removing roasted

or broiled meats from the oven.

•To avoid burns, always test food and container

temperature and stir before serving. Pay special

attention to the temperature of containers, foods

and drinks. Do not drink beverage or soup without

checking the container’s temperature.

•Do not touch the oven door, outer cabinet, rear

cabinet, oven cavity, ventilation openings,

accessories, dishes and the escaping steam from

the air vent openings during operation because they

will become hot.

•Do not operate the oven if reservoir cracks and

water leaks. Call 1-800-BE-SHARP to purchase a

replacement part.

•After use, condensed water may be inside oven

cavity, especially on the oven floor. Dry any liquid

residue with a soft cloth and wipe out to keep the oven

clean.

•Do not place anything on the outer cabinet during

operation.

•Do not move the oven during the operation. If the

oven needs to be moved, always drain all water

inside the oven using the DRAIN WATER function

(See page 14). After draining, empty the drip tray.

•To prevent condensation, which could corrode the

appliance, do not leave cooked food in the oven for

an extended period.

•Clean the oven at regular intervals and remove any

food deposits in the oven or on the door.

•Do not heat oil or fat for deep frying.

•ALWAYS use potholders to prevent burns when

handling utensils that are in contact with hot food.

Enough heat from the food can transfer through

utensils to cause skin burns. In SuperSteam

Convection, Steam and Convection modes, cabinet,

interior and door may be too hot to touch.

•Keep aluminum foil used for shielding at least 1 inch

away from walls, ceiling and door for microwave

cooking.

•Do not pour cold water on the ceramic oven floor after

cooking as it might break.

•Do not pour cold water on the door as it might break.

•Do not touch hot surfaces.

•The use of accessory attachments not recommended

by the appliance manufacturer may cause injuries.

•The oven should not be left unattended during

operation. Oven temperatures that are too high or

cooking times that are too long may overheat foods

resulting in a fire.

•Do not insert fingers or objects in the steam outlets or

air vent openings, as this may damage the oven and

cause an electric shock or a hazard.

•If any objects drop inside the air vent openings, turn

off the oven immediately, unplug and consult a Sharp

Authorized Servicer.

•Do not touch the plug with wet hands when inserting

or removing from the outlet. Plug securely into the

electric wall receptacle and remove by gripping on

the plug end. Never pull using just the cord.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS

READ CAREFULLY BEFORE COOKING IN

SUPER STEAM CONVECTION & STEAM

NOTES:

1. Do not use distilled water or any other liquid.

2. An insufficient amount of the water in the reservoir

may cause an undesired result.

3. We recommend that you empty the reservoir every

time after cooking. Do not leave the reservoir filled

with water in the oven over a day.

4. If any messages such as “ Fill water reservoir”

is shown in the display during cooking, refer to

Troubleshooting Chart on page 38.

5. Do not drop or damage the reservoir. Heat may

cause the reservoir to change shape. Do not use a

damaged reservoir. Call 1-800-BE-SHARP to

purchase a replacement.

6. There may be a few water drops when removing

the reservoir. Wipe the oven dry with a soft cloth.

7. Do not block the air holes on the lid of the reservoir.

It will cause trouble during cooking.

8. A small amount of water will drain into the drip tray

when the reservoir is removed. Empty after cooking.

DRIP TRAY

Be sure to cook with drip tray in position and follow

the directions below.

The oven comes with the drip tray already in place under

the oven door. This drip tray collects the condensation

from the oven door.

To remove the drip tray: Pull the drip tray toward you

with both hands.

*Make sure water is not dripping down before removing

the drip tray.

To replace the drip tray: Place the drip tray onto the

right and left hooks under the oven and push firmly as

shown in Figure 4.

If “ Replace drip tray” or “Empty drip tray and

replace” is shown in the display, remove and then

replace the drip tray correctly.

Empty the drip tray after each time you cook. Empty,

rinse thoroughly, dry and replace. Failure to empty may

cause the drip tray to overflow. Cooking repeatedly

without emptying the drip tray may cause it to overflow.

WARNINGS:

1. The oven will become very hot after cooking and draining water function.

2. Do not open the oven with your face close to the oven. Steam from the oven may cause burns.

Make sure that the oven has cooled before emptying the reservoir and the drip tray and then wipe the oven cavity.

4. Do not touch the water directly as water in the drip tray may be hot.

2. Perform the Drain Water function at least once a day after using SuperSteam Convection or Steam mode.

3. Check that water is not dripping down before removing the drip tray, as a small amount of water drains into the drip

tray when the reservoir is removed.

DRAIN WATER FUNCTION

Perform the Drain Water function at least once a day after

using SuperSteam Convection or Steam mode. It takes

from 1 to 8 minutes.

Drain Water function is very useful to keep oven clean, to

prevent scale build up and the use of stale water. It causes

evaporation of the internal steam system.

function. If the reservoir is not removed, Drain Water

function does not start.

DESCALE FUNCTION

White or gray grains, also called scale, may form in

the water circuit inside the oven during steam

generation, which could cause the oven to malfunction.

When DESCALING NECESSARY is shown in the

display, be sure to carry out Descale function

immediately. It takes about 1 hour.

PROCEDURE

Citric acid, available at some drugstores, or

bottled lemon juice with no pulp are used for

descaling. Choose one and prepare the

descaling solution.

To use citric acid, dissolve 1 tablespoon of

citric acid crystals in 2 1/4 cups of water in a

non-porous container. Stir well and pour into

the reservoir.

To use 100% bottled lemon juice, check that

there is absolutely no pulp in it. If there is pulp

or you are not sure, strain through a fine

strainer. Measure 1/3 cup of the strained lemon

juice and add it to 2 1/4 cups of water. Stir well

and pour into the reservoir.

Place the reservoir in the oven correctly and

push firmly into place.

Set the empty drain tank in baking tray

on upper level in the oven.

Do not place any food in the oven.

Press START to begin descaling.

Press Back/Info,

turn the Dial to

select DESCALE

and press Enter.

When the oven stops with the audible signal, a

message will appear in the display.

The oven will automatically cool and you will hear the

sound of the cooling fan. The fan may continue to

operate up to 13 minutes depending on the oven and

parts temperature.

2. Do not use the baking tray and metal racks.

MICROWAVE COOKING WITH SENSOR

Sharp's Sensor is a semi-conductor device that detects

the vapor (moisture and humidity) emitted from the food

as it heats. The sensor adjusts the cooking times and

power level for various foods and quantities.

Using Sensor Settings:

1. After the oven is plugged in, wait 2 minutes before

using Sensor Cook.

2. Be sure the exterior of the cooking container and the

interior of the oven are dry. Wipe off any moisture with

a dry cloth or paper towel.

3. The oven works with foods at normal storage

temperature. For example, popcorn would be at

room temperature.

4. Any Sensor Cook selection can be programmed with

More or Less Time Adjustment. See page 33.

5. More or less food than the quantity listed in the chart

should be cooked following the guidelines in any

microwave cookbook.

6. During the first part of Sensor Cook, SENSING will

appear on the display. Do not open the oven door or

press Stop/Clear during this part of the cooking

cycle. The measurement of vapor will be interrupted.

If this occurs, an error message will appear. To

continue cooking, press Stop/Clear and cook

manually. When the sensor detects the vapor emitted

from the food, the remainder of cooking time will

appear.The door may be opened when remaining

cooking time appears on the display. At this time, you

may stir or season food, as desired.

7. If the sensor does not detect vapor properly when

popping popcorn, the oven will turn off, and the

correct time of day will be displayed. If the sensor

does not detect vapor properly when cooking other

foods, Error will be displayed, and the oven will turn

off.

8. Check food for temperature or doneness after cooking.

If food is not completely cooked, enter additional

cooking time manually. Do not press Sensor Cook

again as food may overcook.

Sensor Reheat can be set two ways:

1. Quick way

2. Microwave, MANUAL. REHEAT and then SENSOR

REHEAT

Covering Foods:

Some foods work best when covered. Use the cover

recommended in the Sensor Cook chart for these foods.

1. Casserole lid.

2. Plastic wrap: Use plastic wrap recommended for

microwave cooking. Cover dish loosely; allow

approximately 1/2-inch to remain uncovered to allow

steam to escape. Plastic wrap should not touch food.

3. Wax paper: Cover dish completely; fold excess wrap

under dish to secure. If dish is wider than paper,overlap

two pieces at least one inch to cover.

Be careful when removing any covering to allow

steam to escape away from you.

PROCEDURE

Turn the Dial to enter the

desired cooking time 5

minutes and press

START.

Press Microwave, turn

the Dial to select

MANUAL and press

Enter.

TO SET POWER LEVEL

There are eleven preset power levels.

Using lower power levels increases the cooking time

which is recommended for foods such as cheese, milk

and long slow cooking of meats. Consult a microwave

cookbook or recipes for specific recommendations.

MANUAL DEFROST

If the food that you wish to defrost is not listed on the

DEFROST CHART or is above or below the limits in

the "Amount" column on the DEFROST CHART on page

25, you need to defrost manually.

You can defrost any frozen food, either raw or previously

cooked, by using Power Level 30%.

Follow the exact 4-step procedure found under

MICROWAVE TIME COOKING.

Estimate defrosting time and select 30% when you

select the power level.

For either raw or previously cooked frozen food the rule

of thumb is approximately 5 minutes per pound. For

example, defrost 5 minutes for 1 pound of frozen

spaghetti sauce. Always stop the oven periodically to

remove or separate the portions that are defrosted. If

food is not defrosted at the end of the estimated

defrosting time, program the oven in 1 minute

increments on Power Level 30% until totally defrosted.

When using plastic containers from the freezer, defrost

only long enough to remove from the plastic in order to

place in a microwave-safe dish.

CLEANING AND CARE

CLEAN THE OVEN REGULARLY. Spatters and

residue remaining from prolonged use, especially at

high temperatures, are hard to clean and may interfere

with good oven operation as well as decrease the

useful life of the oven.

IMPORTANT CAUTIONS:

•DISCONNECT THE POWER CORD IF POSSIBLE.

•ALLOW THE OVEN TO COOL BEFORE

CLEANING.

•DO NOT USE OVEN CLEANERS OR HARSH

SCOURING PADS ON ANY PART OF THE OVEN.

•DO NOT USE A STEAM CLEANER.

Oven Cleaning - Exterior

Prepare a solution of mild soap and water, immerse a

soft cloth or sponge into the solution and wring dry.

Wipe exterior. Do not use any type of harsh abrasive

cleaner. Rinse cloth or sponge in warm water and wring

dry. Wipe exterior again and polish dry.

Door

To remove all traces of dirt, regularly clean both sides

of the door with a soft damp cloth. Do not use harsh,

abrasive cleaners or sharp metal scrapers to clean the

oven door glass since they can scratch the surface,

which may result in shattering of the glass. Polish with

another soft cloth.

Control Panel

Care should be taken in cleaning the control panel. If

the control panel becomes soiled, open the oven door

before cleaning. Wipe the panel with a cloth dampened

slightly with water only. Dry with a soft cloth. Do not

scrub or use any sort of chemical cleaners. Close the

door and press Stop/Clear.

Oven Cleaning - Interior

STEAM CLEAN

The Steam Clean function helps to loosen any grease,

oil or food residue. The steam will make the oven easy

to clean; however, it is not a self-cleaning function. It will

take approximately 20 minutes for the cleaning cycle.

PREPARATION

1. Make sure that the reservoir is filled with fresh cold

tap water and is installed. (See page 13.)

2. Make sure that the empty drip tray is installed. (See

page 13.)

Allow the oven to cool to prevent the burns. Then open

the door and remove any residue carefully with soft,

damp cloth. Finally, remove and empty the reservoir and

drip tray. Replace both.

To clean the interior surfaces, wipe with a soft cloth and

warm water.

1. After every use while the oven is still warm, wipe

spatters or spills with a soft damp cloth or sponge.

DO NOT USE ABRASIVE OR HARSH CLEANERS

OR SCOURING PADS. For heavier soil, use mild

soap; rinse thoroughly with hot water. Carry out Steam

Clean function to clean thoroughly.

2. The cleaning cloth or sponge must be wrung dry to

prevent moisture or residue from entering the oven

vents.

3. Do not use spray type cleaners on the oven interior.

4. Any remaining food or fat could cause smoke or an

unpleasant smell. It is a good idea to heat the oven

with SuperSteam Convection Broil in manual

operation for 20 minutes without preheat and food

(See CLEAN THE OVEN BEFORE FIRST USE on

page 16) to remove any fat or residue from the interior

ducts and heaters and unpleasant smell.

PROCEDURE

Press Back/Info, turn the

Dial to select STEAM

CLEAN and press

START.

SEC AX1200 O/M,P36- 08.9.24, 1:56 PM36

See CLEAN THE OVEN BEFORE FIRST

USE on page 16.

Wipe the window on both sides with a damp cloth to

remove any spills or spatters. Metal parts will be easier

to maintain if wiped frequently with a soft damp cloth.

Avoid the use of spray and other harsh cleaners as they

may stain, streak or dull the door surface.

When cleaning surfaces of door and oven that come

together on closing the door, use only mild, non abrasive

soaps, or detergents applied with a sponge or soft cloth.

CLEANING AND CARE

Door Gasket

The door gasket is essential for a good seal. Always

keep the gasket clean to prevent any damage. If water

condenses inside the door gasket, wipe dry with a soft

cloth. Polish with another soft cloth. Do not use a

chemical or abrasive cleaner on these surfaces. Care

should be taken not to rub, damage, pull or move the

gasket. Before cooking, always check that door gasket

is lying smooth and flat. If not, steam will leak from the

door. Do not use SuperSteam Oven if it has a damaged

door gasket as steam would not be contained in the

oven. Consult a Sharp Authorized Service.

Baking Tray / High Rack / Low Rack / Steam

Basket

Wash baking tray, high rack, low rack, baking tray and

steam basket after cooking with a mild soap or detergent

solution, rinsing and polishing dry. Do not use harsh

cleaners, sharp metal scrapers or stiff brushes to

prevent damage to the easy clean surface. All the

accessories can be washed in the dishwasher. Place

on the top rack.

Reservoir and Reservoir Lid

After cooking, wash in a mild soap or detergent solution

with a soft damp cloth or sponge, rinse and polish dry.

Do not wash in the dishwasher. Note the filter in the

rear bottom of the reservoir. Use a very soft brush to

remove any build-up in the filter. The filter cannot be

removed nor replaced so special care should be taken

not to tear the mesh of the filter when cleaning it. Do

not use harsh cleaners, sharp metal scrapers or stiff

brushes on the reservoir, reservoir lid and reservoir filter.

Do not use a torn filter. Order replacement. See inside

front cover.

Drip Tray and Drip Tray Lid

Empty drip tray after cooking, wash in a mild soap or

detergent solution with a soft damp cloth or sponge,

rinse, polish dry and replace below the oven front. Do

not wash in the dishwasher.

Descaling within the Oven’s Steam Parts

During steam production, scale may form in the steam

generator. To remove scale, carry out descale function

when DESCALE IS NECESSARY is shown in the

display. See page 14 for complete instructions.
